Sonar hasn’t been accessible since 8.5.3 and I wouldn’t recommend using it on Windows 10. There’s also Samplitude Pro X Suite which is largely based on Sequoia. That’s another accessible alternative on Windows and you can read about it here and access the Samplitude Access YouTube channel and join the VIP Audio E-mail list on the following website:

Not sure about sonar though, I take it some probably still use it though, version 8 or whatever it is.

That being said, you have a leg up by being familiar with the software and terminology already. There are issues with third party plugins sometimes, but PT itself is insanely accessible, as are all Avid plugins and most of the established plugin companies like Waves and Izotope. Flo Tools makes everything quicker and helps with some of the few accessibility gaps. It’ll be a learning curve, but it’s the way to go on a Mac. I was a Windows guy before going blind, and didn’t have the chance to use PT with eyesight. I always wanted to, so I’m grateful for Avid’s work. If Mac isn’t an option, I hear Reaper or an old edition of Cakewalk Sonar should work. There are groups like this list for those softwares’ accessibility I think. I hope this helps, Mike On Aug 20, 2020, at 10:39, Oran O'Neill <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: H I am a former sighted ProTools user and have been asked to work on a project for TV broadcast. I haven't used ProTools since going blind and am wondering how easy it is to get back on the horse from the blind perspective? I have heard about Flo Tools so am wondering how accessible this makes ProTools? The project I would be working on is not too track heavy, it is 9 half hour TV programmes mainly consisting of sync, nat sound and music. Could you advise on best place to start learning ProTools/Flo Tools and let me know if the Flo Tools application is mac only or can it run on PC? Also is it possible to do all editing/scrubbing/automation mixing and tweaking of paramaters for plugins etc. Many thanks for your help.
